Pokémon: Red and Blue

Game Details:

Pokémon Red and Blue, first released in Japan in 1996, is one of the most influential works on the Game Boy platform. The game is set in the Kanto region, where players receive their first Pokémon from Professor Oak and embark on a journey. Along the way, they must not only compete against their rival but also thwart the evil Team Rocket's schemes. The game features 151 Pokémon, and players need to capture and trade to complete the Pokédex. With its unique "collect, nurture, battle" core elements, this game quickly sparked a global craze, becoming the beginning of Nintendo's most successful series and having a profound impact on all subsequent Pokémon games.

Editor's Recommendation:

Pokémon Red and Blue is more than just a game; it's the starting point for many players' childhoods. It is recommended because it fully showcases the prototype of the Pokémon world, including core elements such as adventure, challenge, and friendship. Even by today's standards, although the graphics are simple, the gameplay depth and the fun of collecting are still fascinating. Especially the original 151 Pokémon are still talked about by players today. If you want to truly understand the origins of the Pokémon series and experience the purest adventure, Red and Blue is definitely a classic you can't miss.

Game Guide:

In Pokémon Red and Blue, beginners first need to carefully choose their starting Pokémon. Bulbasaur has an advantage in the early gyms (especially against Brock and Misty), while Charmander performs better in the later stages, and Squirtle is relatively balanced. It is recommended to catch Pidgey or Caterpie as transitional combat power in the early stages, avoiding relying solely on the main force to advance. As the game progresses, pay attention to keeping the team's attributes diversified, such as Electric against Water, Grass against Rock, etc., which can deal with the challenges of different gyms. When dealing with rivals, it is recommended to prepare status recovery and recovery items in advance to avoid being suppressed in battle. After completing the main story, players can also try to collect all 151 Pokémon, which is one of the most challenging ultimate goals. Through flexible training and tactical arrangements, you will gradually defeat the Elite Four and the Champion, and experience the thrill of becoming the strongest trainer in Kanto.
